But now......

After learning from Zhang Yimou's mouth that the role he was about to play was the image of a general and a soldier, Menjie's heart was suddenly full of joy.

Although it is only a friendly cameo, Menjie believes that with his B-level skill 'Temperament Rendering (Iron Blood)', he will be able to play it extremely realistically.

will definitely make countless audiences feel that Menjie in the movie is an iron-blooded warrior, not an actor!

In this way, on the one hand, Menjie can sell Zhang Yimou a face, but on the other hand, he can also fulfill himself and broaden his acting path!

In the whole of China, there are very few people who can show the emperor-like feeling in the movie, only Menjie and Zhou Yanfa.

Among them, Menjie is because of the Heavenly King system, and Zhou Yanfa is obtained by virtue of his own talent and countless years of tempering, which is really very precious.

But in those who can show the image of a real warrior, I'm afraid the whole of China, there is none!

Unless it is a warrior who has fought from the real cold weapon era, he can have such a temperament, otherwise, it is really wishful thinking, even after more systematic training, it is impossible to have an extremely niche temperament.

Unfortunately, Menjie has such a niche temperament!

If it is said that Menjie can pass Zhang Yimou's new movie, after the audience accepts his warrior-like image, I am afraid that all directors and producers in the whole of China in the future will involuntarily think of Menjie at the first time when they are ready to invest in the filming of a war movie with ancient weapons!

The investment in an urban love movie can be big or small. There is no fixed standard, but if you shoot an ancient cold weapon war movie, the investment, no matter how small, will definitely not be too little!

Even if it is for the sake of the investment to be able to return to the cost, there must be countless directors and investors who are ready to invite Menjie to film!

Other words......

As long as Menjie can successfully play the roles of generals and soldiers in the next Zhang Yimou's new movie, then Menjie's future drama. It will be nearly doubled, and there may not be too many world-level big productions, but at least there will be no shortage of big-budget movies in China!

This is indeed a great opportunity for Menjie. How could it be possible to refuse?!

"Ha Luha, okay. That being the case. Wait until about two or three months later, when the movie shoots your role, I will contact you again, and with your joining, I believe that my new movie will be even more perfect! ”

Ha Luha smiled, and saw that Menjie agreed. Zhang Yimou is very happy, and seems to think that the results of her new movie will be even sharper.

"Whew!"

After seeing that Menjie and the two negotiated everything very smoothly, they were worried that Menjie would refuse. Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi, who offended Zhang Yimou, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Feng Xiaogang also asked Zhang Yimou with some curiosity, "After talking for a long time, I don't know the name of your new movie, what is it called?" You can't agree to star in Menjie, don't you tell him his name! ”

"Of course not!"

With a chuckle, Zhang Yimou said softly, "The name of this movie is ......"

"The City is Full of Golden Armor"!

The city is full of golden armor?!

Hearing Zhang Yimou say the name of the movie that Men Jie was about to make a guest appearance, Men Jie couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that the name of this movie was ......

It's kind of weird!

Although in Menjie's view, big directors like Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou are very literary and artistic, even if they are commercial films, the literary and artistic models are extremely rich, and the names are more maverick, which can be regarded as normal.

But the name of Zhang Yimou's new movie is inevitably a little too weird, right?

The city is full of golden armor? What's the name? It really made Menjie a little incomprehensible.

But it doesn't matter, although for this movie, Menjie doesn't have even the slightest impression in his heart, but Menjie has a heavenly king system!

As long as it is a movie that Menjie has already been exposed to, even if it has not been filmed yet, Menjie can search for it in the Tianwang system, even if it is just a cameo, there is no problem!

With a thought, Menjie was chatting with Zhang Yimou and others on the surface, but most of his mind had already entered the Tianwang system in his mind, and he inquired about the name of the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

This check made Menjie's heart shocked.

The results of this movie are inevitably a little too rebellious, right?!

Although Zhang Yimou is slightly stronger than Feng Xiaogang in terms of Huaxia's status, the gap is honest, and the truth is not very big.

And the new movies of the two are all being prepared for this year's exam, and they will be officially released at the end of the year, and the results should not be too big in Menjie's mind, but it turns out that the gap between these two movies is really not a star and a half!

At this point, you don't need to look at too many other things, you only need to look at the box office results of the two movies, as well as the award records, you can see the gap between the two very clearly!

The box office represents the strength of public support for a film, of course, usually, the box office of commercial films will be slightly higher.

The award represents the connotation and deep meaning of a film, as well as the evaluation of whether it is good or bad by professionals.

Of course, this does not rule out some very rebellious and very good movies, on the one hand, they have a rather far-reaching connotation, and on the other hand, they are very popular, whether it is the box office, word of mouth, or awards, they are all very good.

Now, the directors of the entire Huaxia and even the entire world are divided into several levels!

Relatively low-level novice directors are naturally able to shoot commercial films or literary films, but no matter what kind of movie they shoot, whether it is the box office or awards, they basically have nothing to do with them, and in this case. Most people will choose a direction that they are more interested in to work on.

Either change to become a commercial director, or shoot literary films in peace.

After that, it is an ordinary novice director, who is promoted to a commercial director, or a literary film director, and the division is relatively clear.

And further on, it is the level of Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou!

In their films, with their unique understanding of cinema. It is completely able to blend commerce and literature and art, and condense the two natures into one film.

And this movie will not only have high commercial value and ornamentation, but also have a more far-reaching meaning, which is quite literary and artistic.

Distinguish. It's just that in a movie, it's slightly more commercial. is still more literary and artistic.

For commercial directors. Their achievements can only be evaluated by the box office of the film, and for literary film directors, people pay more attention to the awards they have won.

But for directors at the level of Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, what people usually notice is all. You'll keep an eye on the box office of their films, and you'll also notice their awards!

In the past, whenever a new work by two top directors came out at the same time, there was usually not much contrast.

One of them has a bit of a stronger sense of business. The box office will be slightly higher, and the other movie is more literary and artistic, and it is more likely to be favored by the organizer in terms of awards, which can be regarded as a tie.

And Menjie, who thought that Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" in which he participated in the filming, and Zhang Yimou's new movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" would be the same, one movie has a slightly higher box office, and the reputation and awards of the other movie are better.

But it turns out that in the near future, when "Night Banquet" competes with the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor", whether it is at the box office or in terms of awards, it is the movie "The City with Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yimou that is better!

First of all, in terms of awards, nominations, the gap between the two films is not too big, but in this aspect of awards, there is a huge gap!

The movie "Night Banquet" starring Menjie only won the best art design and the best modeling design at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, which are not very golden.

In addition, the movie "Night Banquet" also won the Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction and Best Film Song in the Xiangjiang Film Golden Bauhinia Awards, and the gold content is also not very big.

Of course, the movie "Night Banquet" has also participated in several foreign film festivals, but the final results are not very gratifying, so it is not allowed to describe them one by one.

And Zhang Yimou's movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" has won too many awards......

First of all, among the Huaxia Xiangjiang Film Awards, the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" has won the four major awards of Best Actress, Best Art Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Film Song.

In addition, there are others, such as the Best Actress Award in the Xiangjiang Film Golden Bauhinia Awards, which was also won by Gong Li.

At the same time, including the Xiangjiang Film Critics Society Award, Shanghai Film Critics Best Actor, and many other awards, which are not very gold-worthy, but are also good, are also included in the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", as for the nominations, there are many more.

Even, the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" was unexpectedly nominated for Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards.

Although it is only an award for Best Costume Design, and it is only a nomination, it is important to know that once a certain movie, or a certain star, is involved with the Academy Awards, even if it is a soy sauce and chicken rib award, even if it is just a nomination, it is quite incredible.

directly, it raised the level of the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" to a higher level!

With so many awards, nominations, and even a few at random, they are too much more than the movie "Night Banquet", it can be said that in terms of connotation, the movie "Night Banquet" was a big failure!

Let's talk about the first-day box office of the two movies, in this data, the gap between the two movies is not very large, among them, the first-day box office of the movie "Night Banquet" reached 12 million, and the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor" reached such a figure of 15 million.

And at the box office in the week after that, the gap between the two movies has obviously opened up a lot!

Among them, the box office of the movie "Night Banquet" reached 55 million soft girl coins in the first week, although it was officially released on Thursday, and the first week was only four days, but the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" was also released on Thursday, and in this regard, there is no need to delve into the gap.

Four days, 55 million soft sister coins, such a number, is indeed very terrifying, even in previous years, such a box office result can definitely successfully reach the top and become the box office champion of the year, but unfortunately, the movie "Night Banquet" this year, unfortunately met an extremely strong opponent, Zhang Yimou!

The box office performance of the movie "Night Banquet" is very good, but the box office of the movie "Full of Golden Armor", just like his award, is still extremely powerful, and the box office on the first day is not much more than "Night Banquet", only 15 million, which is worth more than its box office of 3 million, but the box office in the first week is much more than "Night Banquet", and directly reaches the terrifying number of 96 million!

Such a number is indeed terrifying, but what is really terrifying is the increase in the box office of the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor"!

On the first day of the box office, the movie "The City Full of Golden Armor" was slightly better, 3 million higher than the movie "Night Banquet", that is, about 20%, but the box office in the first week, that is, four days, was 41 million higher than the movie "Night Banquet", a full 42%!

The box office of the movie "Full of Golden Armor" went from only 20% higher than the movie "Night Banquet" at the beginning to 42% higher, and it only took four days, such an increase is really terrifying, and this is just the beginning!

Because......

The final box office results of the two movies are even more terrifying, and the gap is even bigger!

In the records of the Tianwang system, there is no clear figure at the final box office of the movie "Night Banquet", only a relatively vague number, probably because the producers of the movie "Night Banquet", Hua Yi Brothers, did not release the exact data when the dust finally settled.

However, after various sampling and analysis of the Tianwang system, a guessed and more accurate data was given.

142 million!

According to the speculation and calculation of the Tianwang system, the final box office of the movie "Night Banquet" seems to have reached such a figure of 142 million! (To be continued......)
